I find when using this site that connection ( and maintaining connection ) is slow and erratic, with the site regularly "freezing up" and not responding. I haven't had a similar problem on other PCs or other internet sites, it seems to be a problem peculiar to the Dhamma Wheel site - has anyone else experienced this, and can anything be done?ThanksRick

Hi RickUsually its fine. I suggest having a look at your own computer, network or internet connection.Having said that, my connection is slow at the moment but that's because I've exceeded my monthly download limit.Kind regards

“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.” - Cormac McCarthy, The Road

I've noticed something similar actually but I've tended to just ignore it. I almost exclusively use dhammawheel on my phone, and sometimes when I click the bookmark I'm told the URL doesn't exist. That lasts a few tries then it's fine again. I've just always blamed my connection though, or my mobile browser software.

This may be a spreading problem. There have been several times in the last 2 or 3 days that I haven’t been able to access the site. I know it’s not computer specific because I’ve tried on several machines and had the same result. Waiting 5 or 10 minutes before trying again helps sometimes, but it’s still a pain.

Right this second, the system seems to be performing very well... leading me to suggest it's not a database or software issue, but rather, that the hosting company is having occasional periods of sub-standard performance. We'll keep an eye on it, and if you wish to do the same, that would be good too.

"When we transcend one level of truth, the new level becomes what is true for us. The previous one is now false. What one experiences may not be what is experienced by the world in general, but that may well be truer. (Ven. Nanananda)

“I hope, Anuruddha, that you are all living in concord, with mutual appreciation, without disputing, blending like milk and water, viewing each other with kindly eyes.” (MN 31)

Just to add, not criticise....If I try to open two or three different threads as different new tabs, they all refuse to open and I get a 'broken link' message for each tab....

I find I have to shut the whole site down and come back in, and open each thread singly....

The posting an answer problem has also manifested for me, which is frustrating, because I rarely copy before posting (which is an answer) and it's very important that people get to read what I have to say, because it's so interesting, important, informative and instructive.
